About
The Brabazon family seat since 1618, just south of the town on the Southern Cross Road. Killruddery's seventeenth-century formal gardens are among the oldest in Ireland, with canals, a sylvan theatre, and clipped hedges. The estate also runs a daily farm shop and cafe in its yard; the weekly Saturday farm market ended after the 2025 season. House tours run seasonally.
